this is free for all day

A friend of mine said some things this weekend that were very painful but needed to be said. Perhaps now that it is all out in the open she and I can deal with it.

Sometimes I wonder if I should have friends. So much of me is mutable and shifting. Every year I feel like a different person, and I'm always catching people at different points in the wave. I wonder sometimes if people resent me for the changeable part of my nature, the way I run hot and cold. I am frequently a bad friend, and lately I have been worse than usual.

On that note, if you're waiting for the opportunity to say something, go ahead. I did a lot of my crying last night already.

My cat is overweight. The vet gave me special food and a meal management plan for poor Tsar Slate. I got him a new feather toy to make up for the indignity of being prodded.

I don't quite know how to respond to this, but for what it's worth, you were never a bad friend to me. You change because you're alive, always a product of your environment. It's not a weakness. No matter what changes, you're still who you are at the core.

I always enjoyed being your friend, because I was in good company. You have the most amazing collection of people on your side- I remember once thinking of "us" as a collection of jewels that wouldn't have shone as brightly without the setting. I was probably drunk, but I don't think it changes the validity at all. ;)

In the spirit of the day, though, I'll take a shot at you: you never made enough food on food day! It was always gone by the time I got over to steal some.

I hope it helps! That poor cat is as big as a whale.
